beautiful heart

In the blink of an eye, another three days have passed, and more than half a month has passed since the attack on the imperial mausoleum, but the case is still unsolved, making Beishan Ding wait a little impatiently, and is about to send someone to inquire about the case at noon this day Progress, but learned that Shi Yi had arrived outside the hall, so he hurriedly let her in.

"Excuse me, I just want to know if there is a result." Seeing that Shi Yi was about to salute, Bei Shanding quickly stopped him, "Thank you, Your Majesty, I came here this time to tell His Majesty that the case has been solved, and I invite His Majesty to come and hear the trial." .

Hearing that the case has been settled, Beishan's irritability for several days finally dissipated, "In that case, let's go now", hearing?She hadn't tried a case or attended a case for a long time, and it was rare for them to invite her, so Bei Shanding naturally went happily.

It's not surprising that Beishan will definitely go to Shi Yi, but she didn't expect her to be so impatient, "Your Majesty, Mr. Li may not be back yet, let's go slowly." Going early is no good.

Although he didn't know where Li Qing had gone, Beishan must have known that it was probably related to the case, so he and Shi Yi slowly moved to the lobby of the Judicial Office, talking about a lot of embarrassing things from the past along the way, which is still fresh in his memory.

At the same time that Shi Yi entered the palace, Li Qing took a large number of imperial guards to the east of the city. Since ancient times, there has been a saying in the capital that the east is rich, the west is rich, the south is poor, and the north is low. , but the rich and noble basically only live in the east and west cities.

Naturally, most of the people living in the south city and the north city are the middle and lower classes. Although there are many officials living in the west city, there are more people living in the east city, and many of them are former gentry families.

Li Qing's mansion is also in the east of the city because it was rewarded by Beishan, and Shi Yi's is naturally there. Now that Li Qing suddenly appeared in the east city with a large number of imperial guards, many officials who heard the news were a little scared, because Li Qing Qing and Shi Yi are currently investigating the attack on the imperial tomb.

This is a well-known fact. Now this kind of situation is basically no different from arresting criminals in a shop. It's just that the status of the arrested person and the arrested person is much higher. How can you come to Dongcheng to catch the murderer who assassinated His Majesty? Don't let officials panic.

Walking to the middle of the east city, the sedan chair that Li Qing was sitting in finally stopped, opened the sedan chair curtain and got off the sedan chair, Li Qing saw the two big characters of "Yang Fu" on the bordered door plaque, and was a little bit reluctant to break this pretended tranquility for a while. .

The guards guarding the gate of the Yang Mansion suddenly panicked when they saw so many imperial guards. One guard scrambled and ran towards the mansion, while the rest pretended to be calm and vigilant looking at Li Qing and all the imperial guards.

Everyone else went in to report, Li Qing had to destroy it if he didn't want to, "Come on, surround the entire Yang Mansion", "No", Yang Manor was surrounded by the imperial guards after a while.

Half an hour later, Li Qing took away dozens of people from the Yang Mansion, and then arrested a few more in the same way. He didn't return to the Judiciary Mansion until three o'clock in the afternoon. It has also reached the judicial office.

Moreover, it has been an hour since Bei Shanding had drunk a few cups of tea. Shi Yi was originally chatting with her, but then he suddenly left for a while because of something, and he was extremely bored. Fortunately, now Li Qing is finally back. .

"Qizou Your Majesty, Master Li, everything has been arranged properly." Hong Hua ran around a few times, and finally heard that Li Qing had settled everything, and hurriedly ran to His Majesty and said, fearing that the people in front of her would be anxious.

Hearing that Kitayama Ding didn't say anything but calmly folded the folding fan in his hand and put it in his sleeve, after a while he said "go to the lobby", after waiting for so long it finally arrived.

"Your Majesty is here." After entering the lobby, Beishan Ding realized that the people who came were far beyond her expectations. It can be said that everyone who should have come has come, and those who should not have come have also come. Long live", "Exemption".

"Thank you, Your Majesty." The officials who got the news had all gathered in the lobby. Now that Beishan Dingdu has come, they feel that it is even more right to come. They were also there when the imperial tomb was assassinated, so they are naturally more concerned about the outcome of the case.

Seeing that His Majesty had already taken his seat, the other officials also took their places at the back. Li Qing stepped forward a few steps, walked up to Bei Shanding and saluted, "Will your Majesty be ready for trial?"

"Let's get started," Bei Shanding immediately agreed, and the two interrogating officials, Li Qing and Shi Yi, sat behind the two desks in the lobby. A phoenix flying on the wall behind them looked at everything arrogantly, making people feel uncomfortable. In awe.

Li Qing slapped the startled wood, and the yamen servants below routinely started shouting majestic, "Bring the dead man assassin Zhang Si Li San", "No", two clean-faced men in prison uniforms were escorted to the prison in a short while lobby.

The two didn't want to kneel, but they were forced down by the yamen servants. Many officials present had seen Zhang Si and Li San, and they thought that if they didn't die, they would die, but from the outside, the two were fine. However, if you look carefully, you will find that the faces of the two are very pale.

"Zhang Si, Li San, who ordered you and your accomplices to assassinate His Majesty in the imperial mausoleum? Quickly and honestly recruit them." Shi Yi always felt that she was just a foil, and she felt so even more when she looked at the confident Li Qing beside her, but she didn't Feel sad but happy.

Zhang Si and Li San looked at each other, and finally Li San said, "Master Yang ordered Yang Ningheng, please be aware of it", everyone was shocked when he said this, Yang Ningheng is now the head of the Yang family, and this Yang family is even more so. The minister of the humerus who supported the second generation of monarchs.

Except for the first generation of prince Beishan Yun and the current majesty Beishan Ding, the Yang family of the two generations of princes and princes have served, and they are all extremely human subjects. Therefore, apart from the Beishan family, the Yang family is a well-deserved family in the East China Sea.

It wasn't until Beishan Ding came to power that a large number of officials from poor families began to use the Yang family's status. The status of the Yang family slowly declined, but the status of the Yang family in the hearts of everyone was still well-deserved.

It's true that people's hearts are not old, ungrateful, and they have failed the entrustment of the Supreme Emperor. This is the unanimous thought of the officials present. "Your Majesty Yang Ningheng's assassination of His Majesty violates the principles of a monarch and his ministers, and he deserves death. Please kill this person immediately to rectify the law of the country." An official dressed in a fourth-rank official uniform suddenly came out and saluted Bei Shanding.

"Ai Qing, stay safe and don't be impatient, it won't be too late to punish after the case is clear." Beishan Ding obviously wanted to know the whole case, so the officials who came out had to go back to their positions and "continue".

"Nuo" Li Qing did his best for this case and was almost injured. She was really afraid that Beishan Ding would settle the case based on this sentence and the minister's advice. Fortunately, Bei Shanding was as she expected and wanted more. Know the whole process of the case.

"As far as I know, the chief envoy of your first confession was His Highness Shi Yi, King of Wu. Is there such a thing?" Although Li Qing asked a question, he used an affirmative sentence, because there is no one better than her in this matter. more clearly.

Zhang Si and Li San didn't panic when they heard the words, but they were very calm. The emperor and the others dared to assassinate him, so it's nothing to worry about just a Wu Wang.

"Framing the current King Wu, according to the "Daping Code", the two of you have already committed the crime of framing the nobles. First, you assassinated the current Majesty. Both crimes will be punished. According to the law, you should be beheaded. Come here, temporarily take the two of you aside and wait for the sentence." ,"promise".

Hearing that Zhang Si and Li San were going to be beheaded, they were not panicked at all, but Li Qing and Shi Yi were not surprised at all. If Li Qing hadn't resorted to tricks, they might still insist that Shi Yi was the mastermind.

Fortunately, as long as you are human, you will have weaknesses, and Li Qing has found the weaknesses of the two very well. Both of them became the dead soldiers of the Yang family for money. As long as you find out where the money is used, you will know what it is The weakness of the two.

With the chips in hand, Li Qing is not worried that the two of them will not tell the truth. Letting them go to court today is just going through the motions. The others are the protagonists of this trial.

"Why don't the people in the hall not kneel?" Yang Ningheng was brought to the hall in a short while, but this person still looked as if nothing had happened, and the clothes on his body gave people the illusion that he was just visiting the garden .

But as soon as Li Qing finished speaking, everyone realized that this was a case trial and not a stroll in the garden. Of course, the ones standing under the lobby were not only criminals but also suspects. Yang Ningheng was among them, but some people just didn't know it.

"You have a title, and this officer also has a title, so why kneel down to you!" Yang Ningheng was very arrogant, as if Shi Yi and Li Qing who were sitting on it were the suspects, and he was the one who tried the case. The servant did not kneel when he saw His Majesty, Yang Ningheng, do you want to openly rebel?" Li Qing was not afraid of him.

In fact, Yang Ningheng had already seen Beishan Ding, but he just ignored it on purpose, because he knew that his actions had been exposed since the moment he was arrested. I just want the prince to ascend the throne as soon as possible."

"Hugh is so clever, did you instigate the attack on the imperial tomb?" Li Qing is too lazy to talk nonsense with this kind of person, it is the best way to get directly to the topic, "Your Excellency, you can't frame the nobles with empty words, otherwise you will stand tomorrow Here." Yang Ningheng bit back.

It's a pity that he is doomed to fail, just like the assassination he carefully planned at the beginning, he failed miserably, "Well, isn't this evidence and the two dead men outside just a display?" The master stopped writing and took the evidence to present. Gave it to Kitayama.

Seeing that booklet that was so familiar was handed by Li Qing to the master, who then handed it to Honghua, and Honghua to Beishan Ding, Yang Ningheng suddenly felt completely defeated. Didn't he always keep this booklet? Is it very confidential?How come here?

Beishan Ding took it calmly and began to look at it. The booklet is not thick but there are many things recorded. Among them, the names of the deceased and the amount of bribes are particularly conspicuous. It is difficult for Beishan Ding to pretend not to see it. degraded to the common people".

Hearing the words, the yamen servant quickly took off Yang Ningheng's phoenix suit and head crown, and after a while, Yang Ningheng was left with only the white jacket inside. Fortunately, his hair didn't scatter immediately, otherwise he would be worse than those two dead men up.

"You are wronged, Your Majesty, you are wronged..." Yang Ningheng tried to struggle, but in the end he couldn't escape the fate of his subordinates and was forced to the ground by the yamen servants, but he still started to cry out dishonestly.

Bei Shanding looked at the man named Yang Ningheng in front of him, and he was really contemptuous. He didn't have the guts for the two assassins just now, "Based on what you said just now, I don't think you were wronged", and wanted the crown prince to ascend the throne early?I'm afraid it's your own thinking.

"The evidence is undeniable and cannot be denied. Come here and take him aside to wait for the verdict." Li Qing put Yang Ningheng aside without waiting for him to speak again, so there is no need to waste words on the matter that is firmly established.

Next, Li Qing tried a few other accomplices in a similar way. These people were all from the same family background as Yang Ningheng, and they often described themselves as gentlemen, but they turned out to be some powerful villains.

As these people came out one by one, it became more and more certain that Kitayama Ding's original guess was correct. After careful consideration, she guessed that there was a high probability that they would be from these old families, but she didn't expect it to be true.

The heads of these families before Beishan decided to go to war were not the current people, but the old ministers who had followed her father Beishan Ming. Unexpectedly, in only six years, these people had all left and replaced these younger ones.

They all entered the imperial court based on Zuyin, but these people only knew that eating, drinking and having fun since they were young were not really good at it, so most of them took idle jobs and still drank and played as they should, but one time Yang Ningheng was ridiculed by others. Fan.

Let him truly realize that the current Yang Mansion is no longer the former Yang Mansion, and he began to resent Bei Shanding in his heart, because he felt that if Bei Shanding hadn't come to power to use the humble bachelors, his family would still be as beautiful as it is today, but now it is casual. One can taunt him.

So from then on, he began to deliberately make friends with the old family, and the sphere of influence gradually expanded, and he began to have other thoughts in his heart, and began to persuade other people to join him in contributing money to support the dead.

Because Beishan Ding had deliberately suppressed these old clans before, the lives of other old clans were not easy. When Yang Ningheng said it, he was moved, and a dozen people began to raise money for this matter.
